RESUMO
Our studies examining the role of the cell cycle-regulated kinase cyclin A/Cdk2 in progesterone receptor (PR) action have demonstrated that cyclin-dependent kinase activity is required for PR function and that cyclin A/Cdk2 functions as a PR coactivator. Although Cdk2 can phosphorylate PR, elimination of these phosphorylation sites has little effect on the ability of cyclin A/Cdk2 to stimulate PR activity. PR interacts with cyclin A and recruits cyclin A/Cdk2 to progestin-responsive promoters, stimulating transcription. Inhibition of Cdk2 activity abolishes progesterone-dependent activation of PR target genes in part through inhibition of PR-dependent recruitment of steroid receptor coactivator 1 (SRC-1) and subsequent histone H4 acetylation at the target promoter. In vitro studies revealed that the interaction between SRC-1 and PR is dependent upon phosphorylation of SRC-1. This heretofore-unknown mechanism provides a potential means for integrating the regulation of PR activity with cell cycle progression. Moreover, the ability of PR to recruit cyclin A/Cdk2 to target promoters provides locally elevated levels of kinase, which can preferentially facilitate phosphorylation-dependent interactions and enzymatic activities of coactivators at the target promoter.
